At Hills & Ranges Private, they believe “recovery doesn't necessitate hospital beds and white lab coats.” They believe in providing a premium treatment service in 5-star surrounds, with the success of their clients being their success. Ongoing support extends beyond a client’s stay at HARP, and is a key component of their program offering.
HARP’s 5i curriculum consists of highly up-to-date educational information and science in the field of addiction and mental health. Specifically developed by their team of counsellors and clinicians, the 5i Recovery Process draws upon the globally recognised principles of the best abstinence-based programs and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), combining them into a systematic five-module educational process that HARP can effectively apply to anyone’s life—no matter the severity of their addiction.
Surrounded by the tranquil, lush nature of Mt. Dandenong, HARP Retreat welcomes just 9 clients at a time with a 2:1 staff-to-client ratio. They offer trauma-informed care and personalized treatment for CEOs, actors, athletes, and celebrities of all types. Hills and Ranges Private tailors their treatment plans to each client, using counselling, psychological care, and their patented 5i® Recovery Treatment Program. Many staff are in recovery themselves, creating an environment devoid of judgment and treatment that stems from empathy and real-world experience. They provide a structured environment that includes daily routines, chores, and responsibilities. Hills and Ranges Private believe that structure and accountability are essential for building self-discipline and healthy habits, which are critical for long-term recovery.
HARP has in-house doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and facilitators, who work with clients one-on-one and in small groups. They also have personal trainers, dietary therapists, health and wellness coaches, an art therapist, music therapist, and mindfulness, meditation and yoga instructors. In their aftercare program, accessible through their HARP app, clients check-in daily with a counselor and attend weekly group and 1:1 counselling sessions. Clients schedule calls, meetings, self care routines to form a robust exit plan. They also write out their short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals. Hills and Ranges Private’s personal trainer and dietician provide exercise and nutrition planning. As needed, HARP can integrate family or couples counseling.
